Candeé was born April 29, 1956, in Georgetown, S.C., to Billy Turner and the late Kay Turner. She spent most of her years in Vicksburg and was a 1974 graduate of Vicksburg High School. She attended the University of Mississippi and moved back home to Vicksburg and married the love of her life, Gary Grey, son of Joyce Grey and the late Frank Grey, both of Vicksburg.

She was a beloved wife, mother and grandmother. She was active in the lives of her immediate and extended family. Most of her time was spent at the ball fields when her four children were younger, at Eagle Lake, on the front porch swing with her granddaughter and playing with her dog, Trip Nasty Grey.
